That band you and your friends tried to start in high school because the only other band in town only played cover tunes of ballads written by heavy metal bands. Except you weren't really as good as the cover band. But dang it if it wasn't a good idea. You should have stuck to it.
"Legally speaking, Paper Fleet sounds kinda like Dinosaur Jr., with some
60's surf rock thrown into the mix. You know. Legally speaking." - Meredith Pitts, paralegal
"You guys sorta sound like Husker Du." - Some Guy, one of our shows
"So, you must be really into surf rock." - Guitarist, some band we played with
"Wait, did you rip off some of our songs note-for-note?" The Ramones, legendary punk rockers/glue sniffers

As the flyer says, Glenn, my dad, is doing his magical mind reading performance at 1 AM. His performance will be about fifteen minutes so show up before then.
The address is 152 Ludlow between Stanton and Rivington, downstairs. It's free to get in. Dancing, magic and party videos edited by Matt Caron.
Josh, your stuff is really good. But you already knew that. Is it possible for us in the UK to buy your album? I'm going to see if i can't get it put on the Xpressradio playlist in september (you'll be glad if you ever get over to cardiff), but i don't want a free copy, as i'm not on that team that does the playlisting (so i can't guarantee it), and i'd actually quite like to listen to it myself…
